I don't think anything will have to be done to the UN, plenty wide, other than maybe some math to see what impact the higher weight of the chairbacks have on the decking. The only time that might be a problem is when UGAg fatasses are sitting there.
The underlying concrete isnt properly spaced for it.
Sounds like we all need to show up after the NC State game with sledgehammers and wheelbarrows and get started. Anyone have a Fastenal account? Gonna need some bolts and lock nuts. Probably just run to Depot for bags of concrete as well need them. My Dodge is just a 2003 1500 with the 4.7 V8, so may need someone with a 2500 to step up. No Fords, we have no time for slowdowns because a truck has broken down.
Just use the original concrete stands beneath the lower west. Maintain "oldest and winningest" status. We could probably even use the original numbering.
Concrete has been removed in every previous upgrade, why not this one?
The field's only like 5 years old now, unfortunately.
And the LW isn't really that old. The original stands are underneath. It is the field that matters and it is currently being hidden by hideous Shaw shag carpet.
Didn't see your response before I responded. Exactly this
I suppose so. Prob gonna have to play in the Benz while they fix it tho. And I know how much yall love that
If it is for stadium improvements and renovation work, I understand. I don't get playing there when we have a better atmosphere at our on campus stadium but we decide to play in the sterile environment of a place that looks like a strippers butthole.I suppose so. Prob gonna have to play in the Benz while they fix it tho. And I know how much yall love that
This is no time for mom jokes!
I thought you swing in with the "sterile stripper's butthole?"
They make some pretty thin and lightweight stadium seats now. I think M-B has them, and Aviva might have. Probably not that much diffeeent from the aluminum bleachers, especially since there will likely be fewer people (wider seats).
I wonder how much modification of LW triggers the “have to make it ADA-compliant” threshold, which is the excuse I’ve always heard for not touching it much.
I am not totally sure of the ADA ramifications. It would need a full survey of the existing facilities, which I'm sure someone has done. You are correct that not every area or aspect has to be compliant but on a place that big, it is a big exercise to figure out. Obviously, the big bathrooms in the lower west are not accessible due to the ramp and that would be very difficult to make them compliant. But building new toilets might not be all that hard. The upper north is fully compliant, I believe, but the ADA has requirements that different tiers or levels of experience need to be equally accessible. For instance, if you have Suites in a hotel, some of them must be compliant, not just standard rooms. Same with tiers of seating in a theater.
